Later they find someone who doesn't want a minimum wage and also wants to keep 0hr contracts, yes it was an employer and as gracious as Ed tried to be and insisted business rates would be fair it wasn't enough... What do people want?
The highest earners have their taxes lowered and the poorest can't even afford to pay tax, it's those in the middle like this who cop for it and then bleat about it :/

This is how it is Kizzy, I said yesterday, that in my view I thought the audience should have been all what was termed undecided voters.
I think Cameron got a rough ride because the questions largely came from Labour or even Lib Dem voters.
His supporters were probably not even selected to ask a question or even comment.
As with Miliband, odd how Cameron brought the note along and then the first question from the audience to Miliband was about the note.
I found that really odd too.
As for the Clegg, I do think he sold out as to the coalition but again, he had supporters there but there were really no supportive questioning to him or in fact any of the leaders at all.
I think all 3 did well as to the questioning and no doubt for me this was Cameron's best performance of the campaign so far as I said last night and today too.
For me, however, it should have been undecided voters asking the questions, not supporters already classified as such.
It was lively but still very few 'undecided voters' have likely learned anything at all,no detailed information so not much of a step forward as to the campaign,if any at all.
I do really think for both Cameron and Miliband,they both are just pleased to have got through the main programmes involving them and the studio public largely unscathed.
I think that has been the intention all along.
Give as little away as possible and avoid anything really controversial.
See,I wouldn't have set the questioners in advance either,I would just have chosen people at random to ask a question,it was rather clear more Labour supporters questioned David Cameron, and more Conservative ones questioned Ed Miliband.
Which as you point out, doesn't resolve issues as the answers will never be what that supporter wants to hear.
I have been to a QT audience it is extremely hard to get to ask a question.
Dimbleby says every week the panel have no idea of the questions to be asked,which is nonsense, they are all primed and ready for their answers when the questions come.
I would like to see a political programme that really puts politicians of all parties right on the spot.
Not hijacking them or setting them up, just genuine questions really chosen at random and more to the point from a truly randomly chosen audience too.
